Chasing a modest 93-run total, Barbados Royals delivered a pulsating performance against Trinbago Knight Riders in the final of Women’s Caribbean Premier League on Friday to successfully defend their title. Barbados Royals defeated Trinbago Knight Riders by four wickets in the final to seal back-to-back titles.
